Answered several times in this thread by the way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrischoi:
So... the phone was 100%. I loved it. I plugged it into the charger... took a quick nap. Hit the power button, everything lights up but the screen. So I pull the battery... boot loop. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] retrobits:
had quite a lot of trouble flashing 1.1.0. In the end I flashed Genocide kernal and all the freezes and FCs are gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Sounds like corruption...are you running with no journal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yeah, it's corruption. You're going to have to reflash the rom.

You can also try fixing permissions in clockwork
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrischoi:
Reflashed and up and running.

Blah.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Sweet looking foward to 1.1.1 before memorial day weekend! Im so excited.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
Reflash ROM,but wipe data 3x first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Take your trash elsewhere. In case you're not aware, my device is off for repair, and our kernel team is developing something great. I personally test everything I release. So if you can't wait, just keep it to yourself.

To everyone else, thanks for your support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
U seem to be in a grumpy mood today :(

i don't think he meant to insult anyone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Alternate kernels are indeed the solution to freezing issues - VisionKernel or the kernel linked in the second post will also work.

After you reflash, install SetCPU and set your minimum frequency to 200mhz. Wakelocks are caused by devices that can't handle a 100mhz minimum.

I blame my alarm clock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Wake up early or late??? Sorry dude :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Never mind that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quis89:
I like the ROM. Its quick and very snappy...BUT...I'm getting force closes left and right. Email, calender, market, etc. All was good for the first week and a half but now out of the blue I'm noticing fc's often. Reading thru the last two pages or so it looks like flashing a different kernal is the solution? Just verifying a way to fix this...

I was getting force closes when I first flashed this rom so I wiped everything and reflashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You must have improperly shut down. That causes data corruption on a no-journaling Rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quis89:
Improperly shut down? As in pulling the battery without actually turning the phone off? Which I, admittedly, have done as I have my spare battery and I just switch them in and out as needed.

So I'm assuming a hard reset and reflash would be the only way to resolve this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
Nope, just reboot into CWM3 and wipe data, you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quis89:
Sweet. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
That will do it. Try just booting into clockworkmod and fixing permissions in advanced, that has fixed it before but no guarantee.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
Also, start shutting the phone down before popping the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
If your system apps are giving you issue but not market apps with fc or not working properly simply flash sr110 over what you got cause data stays intact. If it's m market apps clear data and flash there shouldnt be any apps included that don't work ie gmail mms etc.

I seem to be loosing data after few days of use I tryed reflashing still nothing.Would it help if I Odined to EC05 and then flash?Because Im coming from EB13 and last version of Syndicate,and yes I did flash the modem and did 3 wipes,las version seems to be more stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] forcelite:
Was the old version file name of this rom named synergyrom.zip ? Reason is my buddy gave me a rom called SynErgYRom.zip and I searched for a synergy rom and this was the only one that pops up. I wanted the newest version so I downloaded this one and it is named something else, I think it was the older version.

Thanks,

Im having video camera issues i can open the camera to take stills but to take video a small window pops up and gives me a camera failed noticed

then i close it everything works fined and after 10seconds it freezes and the only way to get use of the phone back is take the back cover off and pull the battery knowing that i can have data corruption but I do it and thankfully i dont get data corruption and this has happened 3-4 times but how can i fix this to prevent this from happening and have use of my video camera.

This rom is pure goodness. I have been running since Sunday and have nothing but praise for the devs.

You are right, I think it is the viper rom, which I already tried and didnt like. So I will stick with this one.

I believe this syndicate rom is the only one that takes out all of Carrier IQ.

[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
So... I restored my Nandroid backup after i last installed this rom. Ive drained the battery, pulled the battery to replace without shutting down, stupidly effed with some files that required me to pull the battery pull and i have not had a bit of data corruption after this barrage of torture tests. Whats the easiest way to verify my journaling status? I asked previously but didn't see a good clear response... though my question was many many pages back.

If this truly works, it seems like a MUCH MUCH easier alternative to having to reflash the ROM every time the phone shuts down improperly. I dont know why more people dont give it a shot?

Also, if i "Shut Down" the phone the battery % seems to stay correct, however, if i "Restart" it, the battery % gets fudged. I know its a known issue but was wondering if it was just a function of the "Restart" option in the shutdown menu.

I also don't know if it makes any other difference but im using a class 10 SD card formatted clean and partitioned for use with A2SD (and apparently working with Ti backup - move apps to SD). Though with Launcher pro, occasionally icons of transferred apps in my folders switch to default icons.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it! Thanks for your support! :)

A few roms do, but ACS is the original ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you restored a nandroid, then journaling is on ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
hey impaler any chance at taking a look at my question on post 7768 a page back. Let me know what you think i should do. TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be the theme. Reflash the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
If i reflash the rom can i reinstall the theme?

Do you know if the theme is completely compatible with this rom i didnt look into it just thought i was awesome i flashed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Since the theme probably caused it, I'd say don't reflash ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
Ok going to ask the developer of that theme what he thinks i should do to fix it because i really like the theme as i do this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Feel free, but if you want it working ASAP, do what I say in the meantime ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
got it, hopefully the dev replies back quick if not then i will do that good thing a have a back up before i flashed the theme
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
Been running a nandroid backup for awhile without issue but not by choice..screwed with my phone with different themes and it was just easier to restore from backup. I really miss the lightning fast quickness of the non-journaled version and never had problems with data corruption. I just haven't had time to upgrade (still on 1.02 and eb13) and I'm not at home where I can odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
I don't think its really worth it, they offer you a lot to watch but very little of it is free. I use Droid Streamer from the Market, its free. Try that or one of the other free streaming apps. Or perhaps give the Hulu app hack a shot although I was unable to get it work for me.

You can just reflash the rom....it will turn the journaling off. Im not sure if 1.02 restored data or not, but if your not sure, download 1.1.0 and flash it on top of 1.0.2, you should be fine. If I ever have to restore a backup, I just flash the rom on top of it.

Sorry another Battery Question

I think I've read all the questions talking about the bad battery life involving gallery, Google voice and what not.

After at least a week or so I started getting a pretty big battery drain. I've cleared Cache and Dalvik as well as fix permissions. Still getting a drain. I checked and was getting a big usage of the "0" in spare parts (CPU usage I believe). I've read that that is for Google voice which I cannot find on my phone anywhere. I did uninstall gallery today and I do believe I saw some improvement but the only gallery I had on the phone was the 3d gallery anyways. I reinstalled the one from the market and am still getting huge bat drains. just now I was using 10% or so in 10-15 min of changing some icons. I'm currently trying to flash ROM over (without clearing data). I seriously didn't have any bad power downs or change anything on my setup that would result in a huge change of battery drain. I'll report back if re-flash helps and recharge battery and take pics of spare parts and what not if it doesn't. In the meantime if anyone has any other ideas that would be great. Maybe a different kernel, I don't know???

Thank you to everyone for any help.

oh running 1.1.0 standard with maddogin's blackout setcpu 100x1000 ondemand
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What kernel were you running? Any other changes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
The takiya and no other changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I'd recommend a reflash to be honest if it's really bad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
I didn't have this problem but I use the SyncMyPix app so maybe it fixed it before I noticed them missing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
I'm using the standard version. I suggest you clear data and uninstall the current one and then go to the wifi tether download page and get the new version 3pre11. Hopefully that will work for you.

Phone idle 2% (5h 15m 24s)
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
I'm going to take a guess and bet that it's probably related to the "standard" release we're using without SNS. I think the Sammy apps (like their phone.apk and sms.apk) are likely to use their SNS crap to sync these photos.

It syncs them fine to the contact list, just doesn't populate messaging app or phone with them. Unforseen consequence of taking out the SNS stuff?

yea you may be right on that....will see what Koane says about it to be sure....
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
Yeh, I'd like to get an "official" opinion... I might just flash the fully loaded version in my free time and see if that fixes it. I'm really busy though so that's likely not to happen soon lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
It's the app sync that sucks. If you flash samsungs sns apks and sync through that it works fine. That's what I did. I just copied the two apks from the full version and added them to the addon pack zip file and flashed it, deleting the apks I didn't want such as the wallpapers and samsung widgets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
I tried that version. When it connects you see the hotspot icon pop up and that's when the reboot happens. Could it be a conflict with the sprint hotspots drivers?

EDIT: No need to flash btw. just copy the .apk's to your sdcard and use a file manager to install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
I don't know, the hotspot app pops up on mine too but it doesn't reboot. I had that happen before when I was using the Genocide 0.2 kernel so I'm not sure why it's happening to you now. Have you tried using the 2.0.6 version? It doesn't activate the hotspot because it just uses adhoc. Might work for you until there is a fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Yellowfrizbee:
Whew..I think I did it all right. Coming from a completely new Samsung Epic 4G, so I have pretty much been taking this whole day to hack and mod my device. Had a lot of steps to go through coming from total fresh start!

Something worrying me though..when it was flashing in CWM 3, it was doin its thing and I could see the little bar chugging along, but then eventually sometime after the 'groceries' part or something like that, the bar was about in the middle and it went and almost glitched and went black and then rebooted into the beautiful ACS boot up as if it was finished. But the bar wasnt at the end, and it never said "finished" or anything. It just rebooted itself. Did the rom finish installing? If it means anything, my battery was pretty low.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Barshalen:
It finished fine. The install script auto reboots the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Works fine for me (fully loaded). Only issues I have had is a bad flash when updating the kernal and one weird incident where xda app started to fc no matter how many times I cleared the memory (had to reboot).
[Epic 4G Android Development] freakshow11582:
i love this rom thx devs :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Yellowfrizbee:
Thanks!

Still have my concerns though. When I go to wallpapers, I can only see 'gallery' and 'live wallpapers'. The choice for 'wallpapers' is absent, which just makes me think it didnt finish or something. Or is it meant to be like this?

edit: Another thing, the DRM content is still running. The little omaDrmconfigservice. Or did this rom not automatically delete that? Excuse my ignorance, I am totally new to the samsung epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
Mine actually bugged out much in the same way yours seems to.

There was a little bit of output after the "groceries" part.... It does reboot on its own though so that is definitely true.

The way I could tell that I had a bad flash at first was the fact that the Sprint boot animation was over-layed with the a weird "android" all in lower case... I actually thought this was the new ACS boot animation, well it actually wasn't (I found that out after my 2nd flash). It booted to a mostly stock looking homescreen with broken TW and launcher pro installed.... which definitely wasn't natural since I was coming from bone-stock.

TLDR; Re-flash just to be safe. It is quick and if you haven't configured much already it's a fairly inexpensive (time) method of fixing concerns you might have. I had to flash mine twice to get it all perfect but it has been fine since then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] big_bake:
So all your photos show up in the stock message app and on phone calls now? I know that got broken when I went from 2.1 (all pics worked) to 2.2. Right now I only have pictures show up in contacts and GoSMS. I'm still on the stock 2.2 update, coming to this ROM in the next day or two :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] whoojong:
I had tons of problems with WiFi Tether also. It would reboot my phone and then it corrupted the system so that it would force close alot of background apps. Then I reflashed, finally on the 4th reflash, it just worked. Very weird. Smooth sailing since then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I love teasers. How about you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
Do you mean with wiping data :(? I just reflashed over again with only clearing cache and dalvik again. I'll charge up and see how it goes.

This rom is real stable until phone freezes and I have to pull out the battery,after that I get "Google Framework Services" fc's and few other bugs like icons dissapearing.

I think that second version of Syndicate was best one so far.Is there a kernel that fixes these issues?Or maybe a way to turn on Journaling?

I even did fresh Odin to EC05 and 3 wipes and still same problems,i deffinetly dont want to switch to another rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
And the solution to freezes has been discussed ad nauseum.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
Easiest method is to use the Android System Info app: under System > Mount Points look for data=ordered.

Other easy methods also exist like using the Terminal app or ADB to check storage usage

adb df -h

or

adb shell
busybox df -h

data=ordered: All data are forced directly out to the main file system prior to its metadata being committed to the journal.

A more involved method (depending on the version in use) is to run tune2fs with the "-l" (L as in lollipop) option (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12342230&postcount=59)

tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl9 | grep features

OUTPUT
Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode filetype extent sparse_super large_file
tune2fs -l /dev/block/stl10 | grep features
Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode filetype needs_recovery extent sparse_super large_file

I've been having a issue with the latest version (1.1.0). Can't quite pin point it but the phone occasionally lose's all signal and data connectivity. ( no signal strength, X on signal meter)

When I re-boot the signal comes back but my battery will be dead. Goes from 70% to nothing in a matter of minutes.

Sometimes this seems to occur after playing a game of angry birds but not always so not sure if it's related?

Has anyone experienced this before?

First page, second post: known bug (kernel): limited numbers of users experience freezes, IF YOU GET FREEZES, READ THIS OR TRY VISIONKERNEL
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Id chalk that up to a bad flash, try again the problem stems from a horrible cwm recovery we have on the epic sometimes the data just don't get copied right. The best advice is to flash twice in a row. Flash and reflash without ever leaving cwm the first time.

I was having random FC's, started clean, all FCs gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Yeah I know but flashing those kernels breaks camera.

Enabling Journalimg worked like a charm,this time when my phone froze trying to use WallSwitch app(which dont work for some reason in this version) my phone dint get any more fc's uppon reboot,i tryed launching the app again and my phone froze again I did another battery pull and still no fc's!

So I guess that Journaling was responsible,thanx for ya help and great job on this rom-its the best rom for epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Wrong. Twilight Zone 1.0.4 breaks the camcorder (only). VisionKernel is fully compatible and always has been.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
VisionKernel dont break nothing?

Because I still get random freezes once in awhile but now that I have Journaling enabled I dont get no more fc's after battery pull.

Oh,and does VisionKernel add red tint to screen?I know that Voodoo color is meant for people that have blue tint on their Epics however mine came with perfect color balance and no blue tint.

My question is,would it give my screen extra warm temperature?Because I prefer cool temp.
[Epic 4G Android Development] anavias:
VisionKernal didn't break my camcorder, but I still had freezes until I swapped to Genocide.

I love ACS, but I'm holding my wife's ACS Rom at 1.02 for now. I have 1.10 on mine and can deal with the tweaking and troubleshooting. Waiting for the next update!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
No freezes, and Voodoo Color only applies at full brightness (and doesn't make them warm, just slightly-tweaked).
